A system, a device, and a method include a network interface device that measures optical power of a passive optical device; generates optical power data, and stores the optical power data. The system, the device, and the method, also includes generating alarms based on the optical power data and communication with remote network interface devices via the passive optical device.

Measurement of optical performance for passive WDM systems

A system and method for measuring latency of an optical transport network includes generating a time stamp, transmitting the time stamp in an optical transport network, and processing the time stamp to measure latency of the optical transport network.

Method and system for measuring latency

A method and system of an embodiment may include a method, comprising receiving, at a computing device, network bandwidth information for a network, receiving, at a computing device, a request for network bandwidth, identifying, at a computing device, one or more portions of network bandwidth to fulfill the request. The method may include provisioning the one or more identified portions of unallocated network bandwidth for the request. The identification may comprise utilizing the network bandwidth information to identify one or more portions of unallocated network bandwidth with sufficient capacity for the request, and determining which of the one or more portions of unallocated network bandwidth will result in less fragmentation of remaining unallocated network bandwidth.
